Stock photography has been around for decades and it is often a way for professional photographers or photojournalists to make a little extra money when their client roster is low. Now the internet has made it possible for anyone to sell their photos - not only do they give photographers the chance, but they also make it possible for designers to sell stock designs.

iStockphoto: Low Cost Royalty Free Stock Graphics

iStockphoto.com was started by a group of designers and It was subsequently purchased by Getty Images, but retained its original name. iStock is the answer to the ever-growing market for low-cost royalty-free photographs and designs. Their price points start at $1 for still photos and $20 for most low-quality video files.

iStockphoto is based in Alberta, Canada and uses a credit-based system for purchases. They changed from the traditional flat fee per item system in 2006, to a subscription system. In the new system users can buy credits, or subscribe for a flat fee every year, to download.
